Conflicting tariffs on duties for new settlers - which is correct?

[InsatiableAmos]

There are several places on the CBSA website that state an immigrant moving to Canada is allowed to bring vehicles up to $10,000 in value into the country duty free, and that vehicle value above $10,000 will have duties assessed. One such place is Tariff 9805.00.00 specifically pertaining to former residents returning to Canada: https://www.cbsa-asfc.gc.ca/publications/dm-md/d2/d2-3-2-eng.html

The Tariff specifically for Settlers (9807.00.00) states that immigrants in this category may bring vehicles into the country duty free and does not list any valuation limits: https://www.cbsa-asfc.gc.ca/publications/dm-md/d2/d2-2-1-eng.html

Which is true? As a US citizen moving to Canada with a non-temporary work visa, could it really be true that I am granted more favorable duties than returning Canadian citizens?

If this is indeed true, any recommendations on how I convince vehicle transporters of this?

For others who may be searching for an answer to this: I have contacted CBSA and spoken with a representative who confirmed that Canadian citizens returning to Canada do, indeed, have a limit to the value of a vehicle they're allowed to import duty-free ($10,000), and that new settlers moving to Canada do not have any limits.

Hope this helps!
